Gothic holiday magic took over Old Town Hall on December 6-7 as Grave Tidings returned for its haunted holiday market! Over 50 dark artists and vendors filled Derby Square with unique creations — from macabre art and handcrafted jewelry to oddities, candles, and everything beautifully dark in between.
Produced by Liz Frazier of Witch City Wicks, Grave Tidings has become a beloved alternative holiday tradition for those who like their holiday shopping with a little more edge. Thank you to all the incredible vendors, shoppers, and supporters who made this year’s market a success!
Closing Note:
Grave Tidings was part of the inaugural Salem Holiday Happenings initiative, a collaborative effort by Creative Collective and Salem Main Streets to create a cohesive holiday experience for Salem’s residents and visitors. From Santa’s Arrival and the Tree Lighting to Wassail Weekend and LAUNCH!, Holiday Happenings brought the community together throughout the 2025 holiday season. Thank you to all our sponsors and participants who made Year One possible — we can’t wait for 2026!
